Secret Santa December 2021

[Thedairos]

Ho ho ho, the Secret Santa is back! Christmas is the time of giving, and what's more fun than preparing nice little gifts for others and watching their eyes light up with joy when they unpack it? The Secret Santa Gift Exchange allows you to do just that while receiving a present from someone else as well! Of course all presents will have to be digital: It could be art, drawings, a song playlist, cute animal pictures, banners, signature badges, poems or some other type of writing, memes, cards for a collection the giftee has or whatever else you come up with! You may get as creative as you like! This time, the event will also include on-site members, so I will cross-post everything here and in the Dispatch that I will create in a second.

So, how does this work?

To sign up, just post here in this thread or send me a telegram until the 5th of December. If you'd like, you can add a short list of your interests to help your Secret Santa find a present for you. (Of course the Santa doesn't necessarily have to include these interests in the gift, they're just meant for inspiration.) On the 6th of December, I will randomly do the matching and I will privately send the name of your giftee to you. After this, you will have time until the 24th of December to prepare a present for them. On the 25th of December, all gifts will be distributed. You can either send the gift to me beforehand(!) so that I can send it to the giftee anonymously, or you can send it to them directly. In this case, please send me a message once you've done it, so that I can keep track of who has received their gift and who hasn't.

Happy gifting!
